Weather permitting, this Saturday ‘Boro entertain play-off contenders Bishop’s Stortford in their battle for Conference South survival. (Skrill South League Fixture – Kick off 3pm)

14th placed ‘Boro will go into Saturday’s game against Bishop’s Stortford brimming with confidence after two vital back-to-back 3-2 League wins over Dorchester Town and Tonbridge Angels.

As the 5th highest goalscorers in the Skrill South with an impressive 38 goals from 24 games; ‘Boro will be looking to make sure their strong home form continues as they look to climb the table & fast.

Ahead of the game, ‘Boro boss Spencer Day told BBC Surrey:

“Two wins, two massive wins – gives us confidence. We’ve brought some new faces in and it’s a happy dressing room at the moment. Bishop’s Stortford are pushing for the play-offs. We had them watched and they are a very strong side – forecast is a bit iffy but at the moment we’d like to think the game will be on and we desperately need the fans to turn up. The attendances have been very poor and we need them. If they turned up to the last two games, they would have seen entertaining games and a really battling bunch of players wearing the yellow and blue, which is vital.

“So a tough match, no doubt about it, but we’re looking forwards to it. When you’ve won two real battles, in difficult conditions; we haven’t played Bishop’s yet, first time we get to see them and we know it will be a tough game against a side pushing for promotion but it’s a game, at home, we’re confident we can go and get some points from. Hopefully the weather holds and a massive thank you to the volunteers that have helped Pete this last few weeks to get the games on.

“We’ve always known this season what we’re trying to achieve and games around teams that are in and amongst the relegation battle, we’ve had two good results, we’ve got another home game to come and we’re looking forwards to our home games of course.

“We’ve strengthened the squad for this vital month, it’s very difficult with the conditions and the heaviness of the pitch, but we will take each game as it comes and we look forwards to it, we will be positive. We didn’t panic when we were losing games; we’re not going to get too excited now that we’ve won a few.

“We know we’ve got some good players, we know what we’re trying to achieve this season at the club, and we’re a positive bunch. We are looking forwards to the next game, and as I said, in and around the ground, there is a confident feeling and fingers crossed the fans will start to come back and support the players and we can start to climb the table.”
